Texans’ Secret Weapon Unveiled…by OneTexFan

All the great players in the NFL acquire a nickname during their career. Here are several NFL players of note who have played professional football for Houston over the past decades. Many are already in the NFL Hall of Fame:

One single game does not make or even break the career of any Quarterback within the NFL. But as a follower and fan of the Houston Oilers, the Houston Gamblers, and the Houston Texans, …the memories of watching greatness has left its indelible mark on heart as well as Soul.

As a fan of Houston football we’ve all seen the early birth of greatness many times before those legends ever grew into eventual fact. So why not create the image first for once and allow the player to grow into that mold? In that light I’m predisposed to create this fiction of which I’m hoping may actually give birth to future fact.

Ryan Fitzpatrick has been called “Fitzmagic” as well as “Fitztragic” as he’s experienced the peaks and valleys of his career thus far. I’m proposing a new nickname for the Houston Texans’ Quarterback who’s also been called “The Bearded One.”

Ryan Fitzpatrick started his first game with the Texans on a very sour note that reeked to high heaven when his team was skunked by the Arizona Cardinals. Within seven full days of the calendar, Fitzpatrick, wearing number 14 on his jersey, went from rags to riches as the air around him became filled with the sweet smell of success. In high hopes of seeing even quite a few more victories from our main man, Ryan, let him be known now as: “F-14: The Tomcat.”

Ok then, I’ll explain it to those who’re a bit too slow to catch the bus on they’re own. I know that many of you are already following my train of thought throughout this trans-fictional-reality tour. But here it is all laid out for you as pretty as a picture. Fitzpatrick is the “F” factor in the F-14. Why 14? It’s the license plate number that he wears on his chest, and on his back, ok? Are you now wondering why I said “Tomcat?”

Back in the early 70′s the Navy was deploying the airplane known as the F-14 Tomcat from carriers all over the globe due to it’s rapid defense capabilities through the air. (Know what I mean, Vern?) The F-14 was America’s ace in the hole for a very long time. America became more secure after that special aircraft was deployed.

However; there’s just one big fly in the ointment in trying to ‘float the boat’ with this endeavor. The F-14 Tomcat was also called “The Interceptor.” That’s one particular description that just doesn’t bode well. Catch my drift? Let’s just hope that we won’t see the negative side of the equation in that regard.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, “The F-14 Tomcat”
is in a fight to make the Houston Texans his own by his gameplay as well as his leadership. He may only last one season as Houston’s Field General, but it’s entirely possible for Head Coach Bill O’Brien, “O’B1,”
to mold him into a top notch Quarterback who may last a season or two longer than what the Texans’
organization has currently predicted for him.

Yes, I do realize that the water may be too deep here, and you may need your boots to tread into this unclear uncharted water, but stranger things have happened in NFL football throughout the years. If football fans are able to dream, let those fans dream big. Winning the Lombardi Trophy is already the dream that we’re wishing to become a reality. It’s now time to create “The Legend.” Let’s all hope that Ryan Fitzpatrick will quickly fill the mold.
